Spicing Up A Christian Mens Conference

By Cynthia Morgan


History has proven that the participation of men in conferences is always low. This scenario is repeated in ordinary mission activities in communities. However, it is still possible to hold invigorating Christian mens conference that is captivating to men and changes their perspective about mission work. Here are a few ideas to consider and apply where the situation demands.

Consider a scout based activity. Most men can relate to the outdoor and community based approach by scout movements. Use the same idea to organize events. Take the men away on an afternoon and engage them in activities that will demand their mental and physical engagement. They love to solve mysteries and will provide engaging solutions that will surprise you. This also gives them a chance to bond with their children and understand the community they are living in.

Organize a platform where they can share their skills. Men have a natural instinct to solve problems. This is the trait you will tap into and engage the men directly. Avoid sit down sessions where a lot of discussions take place. Give them a chance to share their knowledge on issues with the community and fellow ministers. It gives men a sense of pride to share their skills and alleviate the suffering of others. As they share their skills, their ideas of missionary and Christian living find new meaning.

Sports are engaging and loved by men. Organize an invent that involves games and sports. Choose games that will engage them physically and also allow them to be creative. Involvement of the community around or children from their families is a welcome move. It gives men a chance to appreciate the lives of other people around them.

Use the latest technology to facilitate virtual session only for men. This could include webinars, conference calls, social media contributions and other creative ways to make them participate. Ensure that the events are regular and take place at a convenient time for most of them who could be busy at work stations. They will always take up an event or activity that is most convenient.

Host a gadget based event. Men are obsessed with gadgets. They will always respond to an activity or event where gadgets are involved. They also like to showcase their skills and are competitive around gadgets. Make the gadget show fun and challenging for them. You will be surprised at the most shy member of the church coming to life as he explains the latest technology in the market.

Involve dads in children events. Children have a lot of fun around their fathers, but the opportunities are rare. Create a children friendly environment where the guardians are men and not women. It is a chance for the dads to show what they can do. You will be surprised at the skills and level of concern that most fathers show to their children. It transforms their hearts towards mission and their community.

The participation of men in Christian conferences will depend on the nature of activities planned. A professional event planner will transform the participation of men in such events, leaving organizers satisfied with results obtained. New ideas will also emerge as you implement those proposed.
